Welcome
There has been a church presence in Holbrooks since the early decades of the 20th century, when housing began to be built for people working in local industry.
The Church of Saint Luke was constructed in 1939 and, like the people of its parish, suffered the effects of the Second World War and its aftermath. The bomb damage was, however, made good and the church restored, a symbol of reconciliation and of God’s enduring presence among his people.
Over the years our area has seen many changes, and Saint Luke’s remains at the heart of the community as a reminder of God’s presence in our world and of his love alive and active in our neighbourhood.
We hope you will find the information on this website useful. It will let you know who we are, where we are, and what we are trying to achieve in God’s name in our parish.

Mass today at 09.30. Memorial of Saint Edward the Confessor. The readings are available at rb.gy/k7dl5s. Edward became King of England in 1042. He was regarded as a saint during his lifetime, renowned for his generosity to the Church and to the poor, and for his readiness to listen to his subjects’ grievances. He died on 5 January 1066, the last of the old Anglo-Saxon line, and his death precipitated the dynastic quarrels that led to the conquest of England by William of Normandy later the same year. On 13 October 1163 his relics were translated to a new shrine in Westminster Abbey. ... See MoreSee Less
